Australia has just had a rare outbreak of common sense from the courts. The latest, spurious attempt at vexatious watermelon lawfare — using children as its sock-puppets, as usual — has been dismissed. Once again, the leftist white-anting of Victoria’s legal system is being exposed. The Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley
When police officer Zachary Rolfe was cleared this week of murdering Arnold “Kumanjayi Walker”, the only real surprise was that he had ever been charged in the first place. Rolfe shot Walker at the remote Northern Territory community of Yuendemu, when Walker stabbed him and a fellow officers with scissors.
What are the “Fact Checkers” lying about, today? Ha, trick question: it’s easier to count what they’re not lying about. Because, as I keep reminding you, so-called “Fact Checkers” are in reality “Narrative Confirmation Machines”. None more so than Australia’s own taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network broadcaster, the
As the classic 80s ad catchphrase went, “It’s your money, Ralph!” Ah, the Victorian State Bank… if only they’d made investment decisions as well as they made ads… there might still be a Victorian State Bank. The collapse of the Victorian State Bank was just one of the
Not long ago, I posed the question: could you live without The Machine? A reference to E. M. Forster’s story of the same, the “Machine” is the modern, interconnected world, with the internet reaching into every aspect of our lives. Well, the gods not being without a certain sense
Proponents of a so-called “Indigenous Voice” endlessly whine that “Australia doesn’t recognise it’s First Nations people”. Leaving aside that grating, imported Americanism, one has to ask: what rock do the Voice proponents think we live under? Because it’s impossible to open a paper bag in Australia without
For many years, a comforting myth endured in part of Australia: that, with the arrival of the British, the Aboriginal inhabitants of the land conveniently, somehow, just disappeared. But in recent years, an equally pernicious lie has come to rule the ivory towers of academia and the chic cafes of
Has anyone heard from Tim Flannery, lately? Hello? Tim? It’s odd, isn’t it, that Australia’s leading climate doom-shrieker only ever seems to emerge from hiding whenever it gets a bit hot. But when the rain buckets down, as it will in this land “of drought and flooding
Mainstream media reporting on the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, especially from the ABC, focussed almost exclusively on the damning accusations against churches. This was not unmerited — but the one-eyed hyper-focus of the media left the bigger picture entirely obscured. There is no doubt that not
Mainstream media have been cock-a-whoop for the past week at the news that billionaire climate alarmist Mike Cannon-Brooks was trying to buy out energy producer AGL, with a view to closing down its coal-fired power stations. “Net Zero in our time!” was the jubilant crowing of inner-city elites who know
So, cross-dressing dominatrixes are just fine and dandy with the Girl Guides, but women — actual women — who stand up for actual girls’ rights are summarily sacked. As the BFD reported recently, “Guiding UK” (they’ve stopped even pretending to be a girls’ organisation) appointed as lead commissioner a man who
The left like to blatherskite about their “compassion” for the poor, the underprivileged and the working classes. The gap between their rhetoric and reality is directly proportional to how far they have their heads jammed up their own digestive tracts. Because the harsh truth is that, time and again, the
Viv Forbes Viv Forbes has tertiary qualifications in science and financial analysis and no vested interests in hydro-carbon energy, apart from a petrol lawnmower, two petrol quad bikes, several diesel farm machines and a diesel generator in the shed. No country on Earth relies entirely on wind/solar energy, but
Finally Scott Morrison has grown a pair almost as big as Hannah Mouncey’s. For all that he’s stood firm against China on the international stage, there hasn’t been a domestic Culture War issue on which Scotty from Marketing wasn’t prepared to fold like a cheap suit.
As I wrote recently, the scale and derangement of the media-political lies being thrown at the Freedom protesters, from Canada to Wellington, shows just how scared the elite really are. But it’s not just the politicians and their journalist lickspittles who are trying to smear the peoples’ movement. Their
